About the role

This position begins as a 10-month maternity cover for our Operations Manager. However, Kestrix is growing rapidly, so this is a permanent contract. After the 10-month period, you will transition into a permanent operations, growth, or strategy role tailored to the business’ evolving needs and your core strengths. This role is generalist by design. You will spend half your time managing supplier relationships, negotiating competitive pricing for Kestrix, and ensuring our grant-funded projects run smoothly. The other half will be spent supporting the CEO with business operations and strategy, tracking budgets, and co-owning the company’s financial model to ensure our day-to-day processes don’t break as we scale.

Job Details

Responsibilities

  • Support the CEO & CTO in financial modelling, budget tracking, and monthly management accounts, liaising with our external accountants.
  • Manage supplier and customer procurement relationships to ensure Kestrix invoices, is paid, and pays its suppliers on time.
  • Drive open-ended strategic thinking on revenue operations topics like pricing, sales pipeline optimisation, market sizing, and revenue forecasting.
  • Support team onboarding and people-ops activities as we grow.
  • Manage relationships with our contracted drone partners across the UK, US, and Germany (scoping, scheduling, price book maintenance, etc.) and build new relationships.
  • Ensure operators meet our security, compliance, and quality standards (insurance, licences, operational safety), and ensure customers receive their data on time.
  • Manage quarterly reporting, cost claims, and compliance for InnovateUK-funded grant projects, keeping them on track against milestones.
  • Track internal delivery metrics and flag timeline or budget risks early.

Requirements

  • Experience – 2+ years in an ops, commercial, or consulting role, ideally in a commercial business.
